[DML] Re: Pulling an Automatic

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

I removed the crossover and built a support to keep the engine from 
falling down toward the rear of the car. The support, made out of 
wood, was also was used to give the engine a "tilt" toward the front 
to ease in replacing the trans. I thought the removal/replacement was 
as straight-forward as any. I had the most trouble with the shift 
cable. It was just in the way. Also, it was not a one-man job. It took 
two to align and replace the trans - otherwise, I would be afraid of 
damage to the torque converter seal because the torque converter will 
fall away from the trans if not held in place.
